Ark DT-S Vs MXP SP
 

I've been looking at the catback exhausts from Ark (DT-S) and MXP(SP), And I want to know which is louder. I"d prefer 4-4.5 inch tips, with an aggressive tone that's loud, but without drone. The Evo 3 looks good but I've heard of drone and vibration in the cabin.

Any reviews/ personal experience?

A friend just put the DT-S on his BRZ, and in my opinion, it makes the car sound the way it should have from the factory. It's NOT a loud system (A track pipe is PHENOMENALLY louder), it sounds refined and smooth.

If I had the money, it would be on my car, no questions asked.

Never heard the ARK in person but still loving my MXP, it has a very deep tone and pretty aggressive. Are you going to be getting a front pipe also or just the cat back?

Although I haven't heard in person on an FR-S, on the Z's they both sound amazing. Both companies make quality products. Let me know if you need pricing on either system. :)

I have an A/T on my FR-S, not sure if that affects it but I know some companies make transmission specific parts.
I'm looking for it to be loud, but not muffler-delete loud. If the DTS is described as quiet, I'm not sure if I would like it. SRT sounds amazing, but the tips don't fill the space IMO. Invidia N1 has a good sound but I don't like the angled mufflers.
has anyone heard other fr-s/brz with aftermarket exhaust?
And thank you, I'll definitely check the forums when purchasing my exhaust.

here is my MXP review

The MXP with no front pipe isn't very loud. The sound is great but I feel like you'll want more. With that said, it depends on what other mods you plan on doing.

I will try to get a video of the DT-S. Honestly its perfect. Just loud enough but you can cruise by without notice if you need to. I've wanted to do a video but I was waiting for the exhaust to "break in" a little before doing so.

That would be awesome. This exhaust is at the top of my list right now and it seems like there are a lot more videos of the Grip to be found than the DTS.

Ok @A5D5TRYR, here are some videos as promised. sorry they are small, i forgot to turn my damn iphone to landscape.

Does it drone on the highway?

Thanks a lot xxscaxx. I appreciate that. I have to say, I'm pretty much sold. That sounds perfect. The fact that it looks bad ass is icing on the cake.
Now I just need my car... one more week.:D

not at all.

glad i could help @A5D5TRYR
